Medical Xpress / Placental transport mechanism could guide safer biologic medicines during pregnancy
Biologic medicines have transformed the treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases, migraine, inflammatory disorders and many other conditions. Yet their growing use among women of reproductive age constitutes a major clinical ...
Tech Xplore / Ribbon-like fiber unlocks pressure sensitivity up to 1,000 times higher than standard designs
Optical fiber has already transformed the modern world. New research now suggests it could do even more. A new flat-fiber fabrication technique produces a high-fidelity sensor for a wide range of applications, from batteries ...
Phys.org / Sixteen AI-designed viruses offer a new route against drug-resistant bacteria
In a world first, scientists led by a team from Stanford University have created 16 viable viruses that do not exist in nature and were designed by AI. Their experiment, which is published in Science, could help in the fight ...
Phys.org / Many US public parks sit surprisingly close to hazardous waste sites and facilities that release toxic chemicals
While parks, playgrounds and hiking trails are generally thought of as "healthy" spaces, researchers from the University of Michigan have found that many of them overlap with old toxic waste sites or sit dangerously close ...
Phys.org / Cosmic filaments help set first limits on dark matter's decay into gravitons
Composing some 85% of the universe's total mass, dark matter betrays its presence only through gravity, unlike ordinary matter. Yet through new research published in Physical Review D, a team led by David Dunsky of New York ...
Medical Xpress / Global atlas uncovers 55,000 RNA viruses across nearly 100 cities
Scientists can't prepare for future viral threats if they don't know what's already in the environment. That's the idea behind an international research project involving the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa John A. Burns School ...
Phys.org / While Great Lakes ice cover is slipping, a 'temporary respite' may be on the way
There's good news and bad news for folks who love a good coat of ice on the Great Lakes for the activities and businesses it supports. The good news is that, after decades of declining annual average ice cover, there's reason ...
Medical Xpress / An origami-inspired implant could monitor health from beneath the skin
The skin is the body's largest organ. It is a protective shield that keeps harmful pathogens out and vital fluids inside. These very properties make it a tough engineering challenge to design wearable health sensors because ...
Phys.org / Layered nano-biohybrid uses sunlight, air and water to make hydrogen peroxide
A research team led by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has developed a new material that combines inorganic material with biological components to produce hydrogen peroxide more efficiently.
Medical Xpress / Long before adulthood, a chemical mark may quietly shape how the brain handles stress
Stress or trauma during childhood may leave people more vulnerable to mental health struggles and stress later in life. Scientists think one reason could be that early-life stress leaves lasting molecular bookmarks on DNA, ...
Phys.org / Synchronized star pairs unleash radio bursts via a Jupiter-Io-like mechanism
Researchers have helped unravel the mystery of why certain pairs of stars pulse with regular, long-period bursts of radio waves. The particular class of objects observed comes in pairs that always include a compact dead star, ...
Medical Xpress / Sweat sensor enables continuous noninvasive measurement of cholesterol
If you see a doctor regularly, chances are you have had a lipid panel ordered and your blood drawn at a lab. The results told your physician your levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, factors that play a role in diagnosing ...
